Judy,re<CPQ Split> HOUSTON, Oct 16 (Reuters) - Compaq Computer Corp said Thursday its board had approved the initiation of a quarterly dividend and a two-for-one stock split. Compaq said the dividend would be $0.03 per pre-split share, and $0.015 per post-split share. "The dividend and stock split allow us to share our success with our shareholders," a Compaq statement said. "These actions reflect our confidence in Compaq's long-term growth. In addition, the cash dividend payments and lower post-split share price will make it easier for individual investors to purchase the stock, thus broadening the company's ownership base." It said approval for increasing the company's authorized common shares for the stock split would be solicited from stockholders of record on October 31, 1997 The dividend is payable January 20, record December 31. Compaq said it will start a dividend reinvestment plan and a direct purchase plan that will be available to stockholders before the date of the first dividend payment.

If i m loosing my orignal money then I bail out.
